We live in Sunshine Coast and booked our trip to Melbourne 9 mths ago the first place we booked was tian 38 as we had seen the food and reviews from Facebook. We ordered satay chicken which was full of flavour our next dish was char kuay teow it was absolutely gorgeous but my favourite dish overall was the fresh mud crab Singapore chilli crab oh wow it blew our minds the crab was cooked to perfection the sauce was perfectly spicy without it overtaking the crab and the mantou buns were delicious to mop the gorgeous chill sauce up with. We had the signature cocktail tian sling which was also divine the staff members were so welcoming and friendly can’t wait to revisit

My only complaint is there were very few GF options. And of the GFO options, some were actually not available. Too bad because we would have loved to sample many of the Cantonese offerings.

It is a lovely restaurant but VERY loud, and all our food came out at different times over the course of 40 mins, so was really awkward.

Great food especially signature chicken. Staff service are excellent and friendly. If you are lazy or have a-lot of indecisive friends and love wasting time, pick the Feed Me menu option with the recommended dishes to share.

Had my birthday dinner with my partner, we went for the taste of Singapore $59 feed me menu. Overall, the food was average. It didn't really have the wow factor i was expecting.. the coconut pandan icecream was pretty much the highlight and nice ambience.
